1. I thought this was going to be something about the Center for Disease Control

2. This is a really neat project, and super expensive ashes to rise from Stadia.

3. This is targeted at Windows to Linux, but given the speed advantages that it has over rsync couldn’t this be Linux to Linux? That said, I’d be afraid to use this over rsync just from the body of experience and knowledge that exists about rsync.

"I thought this was going to be something about the Center for Disease Control"

I thought cultdeadcow. Tool for transferring t-files.

I was thinking something similar to your third point, though more for cdc_stream, since as of last year sshfs is no longer maintained anyway.

Thanks for sharing this story! In particular, love the inside baseball on details like how your pitch evolved to described the product/company.

Surprised no one has mentioned https://instacalc.com yet. Not a native Mac app but genius.

Update: There is a chrome extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/instacalc/hfoojdao...

I wasn’t familiar with the that fastai model until now. I took 6 photos and the classification was an utter failure.

I personally use FullContact for this purpose with custom fields and notes. I love that it syncs with my contacts on iOS and google.

You should be aware that FullContact is known to sell customers data.

I didn’t know that either and have tried the iOS App once but did not upload anything to them, I just wanted to see what the App could do/how it feels like. Then I read their Privacy Police and ToS and did some searching. I very quickly decided that this is not a service I’d want to use.

So I send them a GDPR request demanding the deletion of my account and all associated data. They replied back that I had to use their ‘Privacy Center’ to do that myself. Horrible site, let me tell you.. Anyways, I noticed that in their Privacy Policy they state that they won’t delete your data even if you request that. They’ll just flag it as blocked. So in theory once you upload something to FullContact you have no chance of getting it off of their servers. They claim that this is to ‘protect you’ and to ‘ensure that your data won’t accidentally land back on their system’ somehow.

I had to send them a very stern email threatening legal action and mentioning some personal contacts I have to some federal law enforcement officer who works privacy cases to even get an answer that was more than ‘please use our privacy center to delete your data/account’.

Finally I got back some generic email stating that all my data was deleted. Some canned response thing though. I highly suspect that they still have my data on their system.

I highly suggest not to use the service of FullContact!

Seems like it would be interesting to report them for a violation of GDPR. They’re a good example of a company that should be zealously compliant.

Oh for sure, there’s no way I wouldn’t report them for all the hurdles they threw at me trying to not accept my GDPR request. I only received the account deletion confirmation email on Friday though so I still have to write that all up and I don’t even know yet where I’m supposed to send my complaint to. But I’ll figure that out.

> I don’t even know yet where I’m supposed to send my complaint to.

Start here? ;-)

>> mentioning some personal contacts I have to some federal law enforcement officer who works privacy cases

I could do that but I thought there’d be someone who I’m supposed to send GDPR complaint to. I haven’t looked into this at all yet I just remember there was some mention of some supervisory agency or something like that in the GDPR which I read several months ago.

I believe it's normally enforced by the privacy regulator of each individual EU member country, e.g. the BfDI in Germany.

you need to send complaints to your data protection authority, each european country has one.

You really need a freemium model for this to gain any type of traction.

For $30... Really?

I don't think there's anything wrong with ask people to pay upfront if you have good demos, videos and screenshots.

Numbers showing that freemium increase conversion would be interesting, I just do see it being worth the hassle.

Also, it's PHP, how would you avoid people just using your code and not pay? You could do a stripped down version, but that's a lot of addition work for $30... and can you strip out that much functionality from something as small as this?

Thanks and considering :) Any advice would really appreciate it

I laughed only because this is insanely weird. I could even see myself making this site as a joke but wouldn't post it as a Show HN project.

This is fantastic, can't wait to play with this.

One piece of feedback: on mobile view of your homepage, you should do a better job exposing more of your content instead of relying on the hamburger for navigation. Just adding links after the Victor quote would be a step up.

This is beautiful, great work!

Small nit: top right corner says "Rate by IMDB" but I think you mean "Rating by IMDB".

Or "Sort by ..."

If suggest making a more informative page for mobile browsers. I understand tge mobile browsers like safari mobile don't support the tech you need, but at least tell me what your web app is.
